Talk:John Grant (musician)

Infobox image
With or without the image_size filled in, the infobox image on my screen defaults to 180px wide. It's supposed to be 250px for landscape photos. I'd rather not crop an already nicely framed head shot. Perhaps it's to do with my settings? nagualdesign (talk) 03:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * For me it's 220px with image_size blank. Possibly it's a Preferences/Appearance/Thumbnail size issue. In my preferences, thumnail size is set to 220px. Maybe some templates (including this one) take the default image size from the user prefs thumbnail size. Should be simple enough to check... if you're so inclined. I'm not so inclined and I'd rather waste my time doing something else equally useless on Wikipedia. But let me know what you discover ;-) – JBarta (talk) 03:25, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I changed my preferences and the infobox changed. I thought the idea of specifying the image size was to override the defaults? It doesn't really matter though. nagualdesign (talk) 03:34, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Too many genres in infobox
We currently have seven genres listed in the infobox, which is too many. says to aim for two to four.


 * Folk, used once in the article to describe Midlake, with whom he recorded one album
 * Alternative (rock), used twice in the article to describe The Czars
 * Indie (rock), not used elsewhere in the article, candidate for removal
 * Electronic (rock), used four times in the article, including once in a quote from Grant and once (as electronic pop) to describe GusGus. In my opinion, the electronic rock article is far too general and does not really describe a cohesive genre
 * Synthpop, not directly used in the article, but "synthesized" is
 * New Wave, not used elsewhere in the article, candidate for removal
 * Soft (rock), not used elsewhere in the article, candidate for removal

It would be nice to get this article in shape before his new album is released next month. References for genres would be nice. Any other opinions? - Foetusized (talk) 13:48, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
